News Item: The Murdocks, father and son, and Rebecca Brooks all claim knowing nothing about the goings-on at the News of the World.

We are the three you-know-whos: I see no evil; I hear no evil; I speak no evil. We are the wise triumvirate.

Now we know everyone is saying terriblethings about us. But we trusted thoseunder us; they trusted those under them;these trusted those under them ... . Weare a vast organization. In the end all ofthese good people, personally selectedby us, or by those selected by those selected by us, or by those selected by them ... you get the idea ... all of us are greatly saddened, and feel let down by the unethical lowest tier of our organization. And not even all of those were involved. Remember, the News of the World was less than one percent of our company.

Foreign corrupt practices, domestic corrupt practices ... we are against all of them. We are but honest hard-working folk, who have built up a company of our size from almost nothing. It is not that we know nothing about these things; it is just that we can only be amazed by politicians who have made bribery legal, and are raking it in by the millions for very comfortable retirements. We don't envy them; we just bring it to light. It's our job.
